At the end of the summer, Walgreens advertised blow-up pools for 66% off the regular price. Jeff Jones saw a pool with a regular price of $49.99. The dollar markdown is:
A) $39.29
B) $32.99
C) $33.99
D) $33.39
E) None of these
0.66 x 49.99 = 32.9934
The answer is B) 32.99
To find the dollar markdown, we need to calculate 66% of the regular price.
Step 1: Calculate the percentage value
66% of $49.99 can be found using the formula:
(66/100) * $49.99 = $33.99
So, the dollar markdown is $33.99.
Therefore, the correct answer is C) $33.99.
To find the dollar markdown, we need to calculate 66% of the regular price. The formula to find the percent of a number is:
Percent = (Percentage / 100) * Number
In this case, the percentage is 66% and the number is $49.99.
Using the formula, we can calculate the dollar markdown as follows:
Dollar Markdown = (66 / 100) * $49.99
Dollar Markdown = 0.66 * $49.99
Dollar Markdown ≈ $32.99
Therefore, the correct answer is B) $32.99.
